How To Write Test Cases? Detailed Guide With Examples

Test case is the backbone of any testing project. The art of software testing is to write the right test case. Firstly it’s not about how you write it, but rather what scenarios you are writing for. After that, we need to closely tie our test cases with test design and test execution. Let’s explore how to write test cases in the most strategic fashion.

Think twice before you hire a QA engineer

When you’re ready to automate your manual tests, you might naturally think you need to hire someone with a technical skill set who specializes in automating end-to-end tests. That is, you might think you need to hire a QA engineer. It’s not an unreasonable assumption. But for many startups, it’s the wrong thing to do. QA engineers are quite expensive (in more ways than one), bottleneck release processes with their complex tooling, and can present other types of business risks.

Understanding the Differences: Smoke Testing vs Functional Testing

Quality and functionality are critical factors in software development. This is where testing methodologies like smoke testing and functional testing come into play. Smoke testing is a high-level, preliminary testing process to ensure that a software program’s most critical functions are working correctly. In contrast, functional testing is a more detailed and thorough testing process.

The Do's and Don'ts of Regression Testing

The modern-day SDLC methodologies such as agile, CI/CD, and DevOps are flexible enough to incorporate change requests in each sprint, which increases the probability of introducing errors in existing functionality. This makes validating existing functionality, detecting newly introduced bugs, and resolving them mandatory in each build release. Whether manual or automated, such software testing is widespread and referred to as regression testing.

Practical Guide to Defect management in Software Testing

Defect management is the systematic process of detecting, documenting, and resolving defects within software applications. A defect refers to any flaw or deviation from the expected behavior, which can arise from coding errors, incorrect logic, incomplete implementations, or unforeseen interactions between software components.
